While I never even gave the disputed number a second thought I hereby apologize that other people I’ve never met had a wrong opinion about his salary. There. Happy?

I’ll expect your apology to be forthcoming. Because I’m deeply, deeply wounded.

Yes, I know, both you and I supported his salary as possible. But you never called him a liar for claiming that salary, did you?

Thank you. My work here is done. 🆒

Except no one has yet apologized for calling Incubus a liar, but go ahead, give each other a nice group hug for being so damn tolerant and nice, eh?:dubious:

This is **monstro’s** cat:

I’m so ashamed to read all of her posts! She tries so hard to be cool, but she’s really a crazy cat lady. And you should see how messy she is. She’s secretly jealous of **Incubus’s** housekeeping skills!

I apurrogize on her behalf.

If **Nava** is **monstro** ’s sister, that is one truly bizarre switch at birth story. 😉

Hey now, no need to go insulting the guy by saying he has a face. He’s just asking questions.
